Medieval Vienna: Self Guided Exploration Game

This is a self-guided exploration game crafted by a passionate local storyteller and played outdoors, in the real world. You will explore the city across 10 iconic locations while following a historical mystery story set during the Great Plague times in medieval Vienna. At each location you'll be solving a real-world puzzle by searching for clues on various elements such as monuments, facades, and engravings. The game is mainly focused around Vienna's historic first district and includes many locally-known facts that simply cannot be found in a guidebook or a browser search.

Starting from Ruprechtsplatz, the stops are spaced an average of around 280m apart, with each location taking around 5-7 minutes to complete. The route also passes through the iconic Stephansdom, the historic Griechenbeisl tavern, and the grand Hofburg Palace.

DISCLAIMER: This is a self-guided activity. You will be exploring by yourself using your phone as your only guide. The full route covers approximately 2.5 km and takes around 1h30m to complete. You can play in the following languages: EN, DE, ES, FR, IT, NL.
